Altcoin Season 2025: 100x growth like in 2021?
While the crypto market is undergoing a correction phase, a wave of strong optimism is gradually spreading throughout the community, as many leading analysts are simultaneously making predictions about the beginning of "altcoin season" – a phase when altcoins may break out significantly in value. Experts are not only relying on technical analysis but also pointing out clear signals from past market cycles, asserting that investors should prepare for a potential explosive growth surge in the near future.
Comparison with previous market cycles
One of the most notable comparisons made is with the "sell-off" event that took place in March 2020, when the crypto market suffered a severe shock from the COVID-19 pandemic. After this sharp decline, the market witnessed an impressive "altcoin rally," bringing huge profits to savvy investors. The famous analyst "Atlas" shared a chart indicating the strange similarities between the current market situation and the collapse in March 2020. He noted that the current recession could trigger a "complete rebuild," similar to 2020, opening up a strong growth cycle for the altcoin market.
"Those who discovered it early made millions of dollars," Atlas shared, emphasizing that investors need to pay attention to "current signals and when the altcoin season officially begins."
Important Milestones of the Altcoin Season Indicator
To further support this forecast, Michaël van de Poppe, one of the prominent figures in the crypto community, pointed out an important indicator regarding the altcoin season. According to van de Poppe, the altcoin season indicator is currently at its lowest point in the past two years. He analyzed that this indicator typically peaks after historical lows, and June each year is when altcoins usually experience strong breakouts. Specifically, he highlighted significant milestones from June 2019, June 2020, June 2021, June 2022, June 2023, and now June 2025.
"It seems there is a clear pattern," van de Poppe commented, implying that whenever this indicator hits a low, the market often sees a strong bullish surge, especially for altcoins. His accompanying chart shows that the "Altcoin Season Index" is currently in the "Bitcoin season" phase, which means a shift is about to happen, with attention gradually turning to altcoins.
Similar to van de Poppe, analyst OxNobler also pointed out that the "altcoin season" usually kicks off in June, with a market cycle repeating every four years. He particularly emphasized that small-cap altcoins, especially those that have not received much attention, will have impressive growth potential, and could even increase by 100 times as seen in the altcoin wave of 2021.
OxNobler shares his personal story of turning $400 into $200,000 in a short time in 2021 by discovering a similar pattern. His "Altseason 2025" chart shows a strong consolidation of the altcoin market cap ( marked by red and orange circles ), followed by a strong parabolic surge ( in green ).
He believes that we are currently at the "peak of a great growth trend" and predicts that the market capitalization of altcoins could increase by up to +9,500%, surpassing the +18,500% increase that the market witnessed in 2021.
June 2025 may become an important milestone in the history of altcoins, opening a new chapter for investors ready to seize opportunities in this promising period.
